Four teams of mountaineers set out on a race to conquer (征服) an unclimbed mountain peak in the Himalayas. The Canadian team chose a long, but safe route, while the British, Chinese and Russian teams chose a faster but steep and dangerous route up the mountain.

When night fell, the teams made camp on the mountainside. But the next morning, the sun rapidly rose air temperature and the strong wind caused a heavy snowfall, which led to a terrible avalanche. The disaster struck and some members of the British, Chinese and Russian teams were swept away and killed. But the Canadians didn’t know what had happened.

It was an hour after the disaster and there was no hope of finding any survivors. The leaders of the British, Chinese and Russian teams, met to discuss how to successfully keep all the survivors alive.

The table above was a summary of what they could collect. The leaders made a final decision that they had to find a way to conquer the mountain and put their flags on the peak.

假设你是领队之一，请你联系加拿大领队David，告知你们的遭遇和决定，并向对方求助。内容包括：1. 你们的遭遇及目前的困难；2. 你们的决定及理由；3. 向对方求助。

Dear David,

【答案】Dear David,

I’m the leader of Chinese team. My team, together with British and Russian teams, came across a terrible avalanche so that we lost some of our teammates. We really need your help. At present, there’re 7 people, 3 tents, 7 sleeping bags, 75 meters of rope, some food and no medicine in our three teams, which makes it hard for us to conquer the mountain. Although we have encountered great difficulties, we will not give up and we decide to continue the competition. It is not only because we believe that nothing is impossible in the world, but also because we still have the ability to finish the game. However, we need your team’s help. We will choose your route and hope you can walk so slowly that we can catch up with you on the mountainside. Let’s put our flags on the peak together and wish you good luck. Looking forward to your reply.

Yours,

Steve
